I wanted to try the Baked Avocado Fries(guilt free) | Healthy Avocado Wedges, for long time. I was looking for Panko bread crumbs and it was out of stock in store for almost a month. Every week I used to buy avocado to try this recipe and finally ended up adding the avocado into the salad and finishing it off. Finally I decided to try with normal bread crumbs which I normally have at home. Yes the fries were crisp and tasty but it was not much appealing like the one prepared with panko bread crumbs. I liked the fries they were crunchy creamy and firm after baking as i used the firm fleshed one. You could make it vegan by using corn flour slurry to dip it before coating with breadcrumbs.
